[Myxobacteria (Myxobacteriales) on leaf surfaces].
140 leaf samples were examined, 73 of which (= 52.1%) contained myxobacteria. Three species of the genus Myxococcus, M. virescens, M. fulvus and M. coralloides, could be found more or less frequently in the phyllosphere of woody plants and annuals. Archangium gephyra was observed only once. There was no significant difference in the occurrence of myxobacteria between evergreen leaves and leaves from deciduous trees and shrubs. Fruit-trees yielded the best results.
